Restrictions and guidelines
Restrictions and guidelines for LACP MAD configuration
When you configure LACP MAD, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
You only need to run LACP MAD on a single link aggregation for IRF split detection.
•
The link aggregation must use dynamic aggregation mode.
•
The link aggregation must have a minimum of one member link from each member device.
Restrictions and guidelines for IRF physical interfaces
Make sure all IRF physical interfaces are operating in bridge mode (the default).
Procedures
This example assumes that the distribution-layer IRF fabric has been set up.
Setting up the access-layer IRF fabric
1.
Configure Device A:
# Shut down the physical interfaces used for IRF connection. This example uses the port group
that contains HundredGigE 1/0/25 to HundredGigE 1/0/28 for IRF connection.
<DeviceA> system-view
[DeviceA] interface range hundredgige 1/0/25 to hundredgige 1/0/28
[DeviceA-if-range] shutdown
